I'm arguing though that due to the conflict of interest, it should be at least one level up IRT purchasing, access to interpretive/raw data, and decision making on which of that data they want to share etc. Remove funding and responsibility from the police to run this system/vendor, and move it into the "office of public data accountability" e.g. which can serve its data equally to the public, watchdog groups and the police.
